Daily Routine Update

I just read my daily routine blog on Oct 31. Boy have things changed. I know it's only been 6 weeks or so, but it doesn't take long to have a whole new routine around here.

6:30am- wake up and take a shower, get ready for work.
7:30am- Christian wakes up singing in his crib. Change his diaper, slather with lotion, change into clean clothes, feed bottle, put in bouncy seat, pack diaper bag, let Jake outside, start the car, let Jake back in.
8am- Load Christian in his carseat and get everything and everyone into the car.
8:05am- On the road to the sitter's.
8:15am- Arrive at sitter's, drop off Christian, chat for a minute, head to work.

work work work

6:15pm- Arrive at sitter's to pick up Christian, chat about the day, head home.
6:45pm- Arrive home, eat dinner, hang out for an hour
7:45pm- Prepare a bottle, change diaper, slather with lotion, change into pjs, feed Christian
8:15pm- Put Christian down for the night
8:20pm- Do laundry, dishes, watch tv...whatever needs to be done.
10:30pm- Head to bed. zzzzzz
6:30am- Repeat.

Now doesn't that sound so much more fun? My days off are much more fun...we get to hang out and play all day. Oh, and run a few errands too.

So Many Places

There are so many places to go and so little time to do it. Do I just go by myself? Is traveling with an infant fun??? Especially all alone. Should I fly? Should I drive?? These are the tough questions when you have almost 4 weeks of vacation and your husband only has 1. Especially since the 1 week he has is already going to be used up on a family reunion. Oh what to do..what to do? Maybe I will just not go anywhere, but that is no fun. Or maybe I'll just take long weekends and then it won't be such a big deal. I'm sure we'll figure it all out..there is still time. Or maybe Chip's crazy Aunt Maren will want to fly to CA with them for a couple days??? I know..it's a stretch. I just had to throw that in as an option.

The insanity of it all...

This guy I work with drives me BONKERS!!! He is 23 and married to a beautiful girl. He was just discharged from the Marines not too long ago because he was injured. Anyway, he is one of the most vulgar and disgusting people I have ever met. He constantly uses bad language, whether or not there is a customer around. He is talking about inappropriate topics all day long. He thinks he knows it all..which really drives me crazy.

So, the list could go on and on about the things that tick me off, but you get the picture. Now...here's the real problem I have with this boy. Like I mentioned before he has a beautiful wife. However, all day long at work he is checking out "cute girls". He always stares at them from afar, and then if he thinks they are really cute he will talk to them and flirt for a little while. He is always talking about his "list" too. The "list" is a list of girls that he could be friends with that could easily be bumped up to more than friends if anything were to ever happen between he and his wife. How dumb is that?? Why are you married if you are already looking for your next option???????? He says every guy is like that. That's a bunch of BS!

Anyway, it's one thing to check out "cute girls", but it's a whole new thing when you are constantly obsessed with if they think you're cute...and do you think she likes me...and constantly talking about one girl. And then going on and on and on about how her boyfriend is jealous of him. UGGH! I have to listen to this ALL day long every day. And he takes his wedding ring off while he's at work too...what's that all about?

So, as you can see...I'm a lot annoyed with this individual. I don't agree with most of what comes out of his mouth. And that is fine..we don't have to agree...but do I have to listen to filth all day long? There must be one clean thought in his head.

Tag..You're it

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I have a really fun condition that caused me to have very short pinkies...among other things.

2. I have turned into one of "those" moms that picks their kid's nose, uses spit to wipe their face, and is very interested in pooping, farting, burping, etc.

3. I really, really, really like peanut m&ms...I really do.

4. Even though I am one of the pickiest people I know when it comes to food....my favorite channel is the Food Network. I also have an obsession with collecting kitchen gadgets...like anything Pampered Chef...even though I almost NEVER use them.

5. I really enjoy working with people and money..I guess that is a good thing, since I am a bank teller and all.

6. I REALLY like to ride roller coasters. I hope I get to do that this year since I missed last year.

I unfortunately only know one other person that uses blogger...and she tagged me....soooooooo we've reached the end of the chain for me. sorry charlie.

Holy Crap!

hmm..I'm not sure I've ever seen holy crap, but maybe some day I will. I think I completely forgot I even had this site. Kinda nice that I have a good sister that helped me to remember. Well, maybe I can write on here now that I actually have a little to write about. After reading my last post...which was over a year ago...I have decided that I have made GREAT strides in the course of my happiness. A few months after that post I found out I was pregnant and I got so distracted that I forgot about all my troubles. Really I just started to realize how selfish I was being and decided to get over it. It took time, and I am still working on it, but I think I am at a much better place in my life.

Now that I have a baby, my life has changed in ways I never knew possible. First of all I never knew sleep deprivation like I do now. It's one thing to not get sleep for a little while, but after no sleep for basically 3 months now...I'm kinda used to it. In fact, my 2 month old son is now sleeping 4 hours at a time during the night and my poor body doesn't know what to do with all that sleep. That first month I was lucky to get 4 hours of sleep in one night..let alone at one time. Now kids...I didn't sleep much when I was at school...and without that practice I don't think I would have made it through this time in my life. *tehee*

So, maybe I am just a dork, but it's REALLY getting hard to go to work in the mornings. I find myself dreading leaving Christian at the sitter's. And then I torture myself day after day by seeing him at lunch. It's too hard to leave the first time..let alone the second. So, call me crazy, but I have decided to not see him at lunch anymore. At least for now. I'm the girl who doesn't even have pictures of her son at work because it is too distracting. So, maybe I am crazy, but it works for me.

And what's with all the "know-it-all" mom's???? Everyone has advice for me whether I want it or not. Can you believe I had a customer ask me why I'm not staying home? First of all...it's none of her business. Second, I am at work so I can pay the mortgage so we can have a house to live in. Someone has to make money to buy food so we can stay alive. And the best part...I have the health insurance for his 8 million doctor's appointments. And fourth...IT'S NONE OF HER BEES WAX! So, anyway, that's how I feel about that.

I think I have an opinion about a lot of things today, but I think I am too tired at 10pm to say them all. Besides, this has been pretty random as it is. So, if I ever find time to write, I will try to remember to do so on this really cool blogging site. It's kinda fun.
